| description | Pulmonary myiasis is an unusual form of myiasis in humans and has been recently identified as a cause
of eosinophilic pneumonia. We report the case of a 13-year-old Omani boy who presented to the Royal Hospital,
Muscat, Oman, in October 2014 with respiratory distress. Bronchial aspirates revealed features of eosinophilic
pneumonia. Possible larvae identified in the cytology report, a high immunoglobulin E level and the patient history
all indicated bronchial myiasis. The patient was treated with steroids and ventilation and has since been diseasefree
with no long-term side-effects. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of bronchial myiasis
in Oman. |
